A socialistis Conferen &C.

For The Enquirer.
! think with your correspondent, W.
c. O., that Socialistic conference is not
advisable at this time, partly from the
expense and partly from the little good
generally accomplished by conferences
as at present managed. Why cannot
Socialists confer through our press,
stating plainly what We need. and pre-
senting plane for broad reforms?
While am in favor Of the general
government assuming control of rail-
roads. telegraphs, ETC.. do not think
that any national or state government
should or could control the indust ries
Of the country, but this should be left to
the parties Immediately concerned, act.
ing through few general policies. The
condition of the contry is favorable for
industrial reorganization. We have in
Vulnerable factories of all kinds, en-
ploying thousands of men and women.
What do these workers want2 More
wages, fewer hours of work, and better
social environments Of all kinds. And
We have for years been trying to secure
these rights through trades unions and
other examinations, and the power of
stri kes. But these means fail because
labor and capital are two antagonistic
forces. with opposing interests, repre-
sented BY two distinct classes, constitut-
ing wage-workers and wage-payers.
The ultimate Of all grades of Socialism
is to abolish these class divisions
through universal seli-employment.
Every original society rests on self.
employment. either through agriculture
or the chase. Many reformen think
the labor conflict can be settled by Civ
ing every person q sufficient portion of
land to secure . living. thus making
him independent of the capitalist. But
this would be simply . going back to
old conditions, which We, have out

The capitalist class select Q aleader, pay

follow him alike In victory or defeat.
The workers decry leadership until
conflict makes one imperative then he
must serve them sratituouslv II victory
follows they rob him of It's credit; Il
failure results his fall is sure and certain
and uron his head Is cast all the blame
Of defeat.
The capitalist class rules the world.
The workers are their slaves.
